Overview
- Borussia Dortmund are described as frontrunners, with discussions reported over a loan for the rest of the season that could become a permanent transfer at around £30 million.
- Newcastle United are monitoring the situation, with Sevilla, Atletico Madrid, Crystal Palace and Bournemouth also tracking developments.
- Reporting indicates City are reluctant to weaken their attack and would only consider an exit on terms that protect the club’s position, making a temporary move more likely than an immediate sale.
- Supporters are publicly urging the inclusion of a buy-back clause if Bobb departs.
- Bobb has five Premier League starts and 17 appearances this season after a leg fracture disrupted his progress, and City’s pursuit of Antoine Semenyo could affect the decision.
